100 Facts About The Moral Collapse Of America That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe

The collection of facts and statistics
that you are about to read is highly controversial. A lot of people are
going to be greatly upset by it. Why? Because they don’t like to be
confronted with the truth about America. Most people tend to believe
that we can “fix this country” by getting the right politicians into
power or by implementing certain economic or social reforms. But the
reality of the matter is that our problems go far deeper than that. A
moral collapse is eating away at the foundations of our society like
cancer. If it continues to go unchecked, it will inevitably destroy
America. Unfortunately, fixing moral decay is far more difficult than
switching out political parties, because it is in the hearts of hundreds
of millions of individual Americans. And most people don’t want to
hear anything about a “moral collapse”, because most people like to
think that the United States is setting a “good example” for the rest of
the planet. But as you will see below, that is not the case at all.

And if we are honest with ourselves, we
see the evidence of this moral collapse all around us every day. Just
consider a few of the news stories that we have seen recently…

What would cause a high school kid to take two kitchen knives and go on a stabbing rampage through his school?

What would cause two 18-year-old boys to beat a 30-year-old mentally-disabled man to death with a baseball bat just so they could get his XBox?

What would cause a new father to put his 6-week-old daughter in a freezer to keep her from crying?

A lot of people regard those kinds of
stories as “isolated incidents”, but as you will see below, they are
actually representative of a much larger trend. As a society, we are
decaying from the inside out, and we need to start facing the truth if
we are ever going to get this turned around. The following are 100
facts about the moral collapse of America that are almost too crazy to
believe…

#1 Approximately one-third of the entire population of the United States (110 million people) currently has a sexually transmitted disease according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

#35 Approximately 47 percent of the women that get an abortion each year in the United States have also had a previous abortion.

#36 The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is roughly equal
to the number of U.S. military deaths that have occurred in all of the
wars that the United States has ever been involved in combined.

#37About one-third of all American women will have had an abortion by the age of 45.

#38 Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion when you include all forms of abortion.

#49 Planned Parenthood specifically targets the poor. A staggering 72 percent
of Planned Parenthood’s “customers” have incomes that are either equal
to or beneath 150 percent of the federal poverty level. And most of
those “customers” live in minority neighborhoods.

#59 In America today, there are 60 million people that abuse alcohol and there are 22 million people that use illegal drugs.

#60 Incredibly, more than 11 percent
of all Americans that are 12 years of age or older admit that they have
driven home under the influence of alcohol at least once during the
past year.

#61 According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent
of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug. An astounding
20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs.

#62 According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans that are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month.

#76 Without strong families, our young people are constantly in search of an identity. According to the FBI, there are now more than 1.4 million gang members involved in the 33,000 active criminal gangs in the United States.

#77 In 2012, the latest full year that we have numbers for, the rate of violent crime in the United States increased by 15 percent.

#78 The average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21.

#79 One study discovered that 88 percent
of all Americans from age 8 to age 18 play video games, and that
approximately four times as many boys are addicted to video games as
girls are.

#81 At this point, 15-year-olds that attend U.S. public schools do not even rank in the top half of all industrialized nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#82 We live a time when most employers no longer care about their employees. As I wrote about the other day, a company that Warren Buffett has a controlling interest in has decided to shut down a factory in Kentucky
and move it to Honduras just so that he can make a little bit more
money. As a result, 600 workers are going to lose their jobs.

#84 According to a recent Pew Research Center survey,
60 percent of all Americans believe that “humans and other living
things have evolved over time”, while only 33 percent of respondents
rejected this statement.

#85Nearly one-fifth
of all U.S. adults have no religious affiliation whatsoever. Back in
1972, only 7 percent of all U.S. adults had no religious affiliation.

#86 The number of Americans with no religious affiliation has grown by 25 percent over the past five years.

#87 The younger you
are, the more likely you are not to be affiliated with a religion. 9
percent of all U.S. adults that are 65 or older have no religious
affiliation, but a whopping 32 percent of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 have no religious affiliation.

#8888 percent of those that are religiously unaffiliated “are not looking for religion”.

#8973 percent of the religiously unaffiliated support gay marriage and 72 percent of the religiously unaffiliated support legalized abortion.

#90 The religiously unaffiliated now make up 24 percent of all registered voters “who are Democrats or lean Democratic”.

#91 For the first time
ever, Protestants do not make up a majority of the U.S. population. In
2007, Protestants made up 53 percent of the U.S. population, but now
they only make up 48 percent of the U.S. population. Way back in 1972, Protestants made up 62 percent of the U.S. population.

#9229 percent of all U.S. adults “seldom or never attend religious services”.

#9351 percent of all U.S. adults believe that churches and other religious organizations “are too concerned with money and power”.

#9466 percent of all U.S. adults believe that religion is “losing its influence on American life”.

#95 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans with “no religion” more than doubled between 1990 and 2008.

#97 A study conducted by the Barna Group discovered that nearly 60 percent of all Christians from 15 years of age to 29 years of age are no longer actively involved in any church.

#98 It is being projected that the percentage of Americans attending church in 2050 will be about half of what it is today.

#99 One survey conducted a while back found that 52 percent of all American Christians believe that “at least some non-Christian faiths can lead to eternal life”.

#100 According to LifeWay Research, 46 percent of all Americans never even think about whether they will go to heaven or not.
